presentation and simplicity, a perfect choice for
your Advent or Christmas service.

Two of the best-known carol melodies for Away
in a Manger are combined in this work. It is
delightfully simple enough for beginning choirs, but

eighth notes, along with some echo techniques
to symbolize the rocking of a cradle, is the
most difficult requirement. The two editions are
compatible for massed ringing.
